About Ulster County

Ulster County’s 1,126 square miles of land offer an abundance of developed business sites to lease or buy. In addition, there are plenty of greenfields, including “Shovel-Ready” sites ready to be built-to-suit your specific needs. Whether you wish to set your roots down in an urban setting or something more rural, we offer a wide range of options for industrial, commercial, or retail use, warehousing or office, and research and development or manufacturing.

Not only will you benefit from the wide variety of space but also you will profit from the low cost of doing business. Compared to the New York City metropolitan region Ulster County offers:

  • 40-70% lower office space costs
  • 15-20% lower industrial building site costs
  • Housing costs that are up to 65% less
  • More than 50% lower electrical costs - the lowest in New York State

And we offer unparalleled regional, national, and international access to customers and markets via major interstate highways, Amtrak and Metro North commuter rail lines, CSX rail freight, and two international airports.

The Hudson Valley is blessed with copious water resources.  Our average annual precipitation is 40 inches (1 meter).  It falls uniformly throughout the year.  Climate change models suggest we will receive up to 10 percent more precipitation in the future.  The Hudson River also flows by Ulster County, providing fresh water from a 12,000 square mile (30,000 square kilometers) watershed.
